I am looking at a cabover and would like to ask a question. Are they easy to get to the motor as the regular trucks like the newer Petes?? Are they harder to work on?? Is there anything I should know that differs from a pete or kw??

The closest one is over 100 miles away, so i would like to know these things before I drive to look.

I had mine for 12 years , other than maybe nostalgic reasons I couldn't imagine getting another one.
